			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="square"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1085" title="motivation" src="http://thedewview.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/motivation.jpg?w=296" alt="motivation" width="178" height="180" /></div>
<p>Don&#8217;t ever tell me &#8220;you do what you want to do when you want to do it&#8221;&#8230;  It&#8217;s stupid!  It&#8217;s emotional and lacks the <a class="zem_slink" title="Sustainability" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainability">sustainability</a> to take you to your <a class="zem_slink" title="Goal" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goal">goal</a> line.<br />
The best <a class="zem_slink" title="Motivation" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motivation">motivation</a> is <a class="zem_slink" title="Cognition" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognition">cognitive</a>.  It is deeply rooted<span id="more-1082"></span> in the neuro-triggers that make every decision that we even start to think about.</p>
<p>Burn your vision into your <a class="zem_slink" title="Brain" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain">brain</a> and you will find the sustainability to see your way past any obstacle that gets in your way.</p>
<p>How to do that:</p>
<ol>
<li>Put in extra effort even when you don&#8217;t feel like it&#8230; you&#8217;ll teach yourself the art of &#8220;thinkable&#8221; discipline&#8230;</li>
<li>Stop complaining about things that are out of your control&#8230; you&#8217;ll teach yourself how focus on current reality&#8230;</li>
<li>Tell 50 people what you intend to do&#8230;  you&#8217;ll teach yourself how to be accountable&#8230;</li>
<li>Create a mindmap of how you accomplish your goal&#8230;  you&#8217;ll teach yourself how to strategize around obstacles&#8230;</li>
<li>Care deeply about your own success&#8230; you&#8217;ll teach yourself that putting in the effort is always worth it&#8230;</li>
</ol>
<p>It&#8217;s amazing.  When you have finished training yourself (your mind really&#8230;) how to act, it all becomes a habit and you find yourself winning rather than losing, fighting rather than throwing in the towel.</p>
<p>You are motivated by how you have trained your mind to think, RATHER than a short term &#8220;energy drink&#8221; of emotional frantic-ism.</p>
